Ask a Specialist

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Do you have a child who suffers from ADD, ADHD, Depression or Bipolar disorder? Do you have questions about medications, diagnosis or what exactly the disorder is?

Now you can ask a specialist. I have someone who has worked in the mental health field and has a vast knowledge of the disorders of children and the treatment. He is willing to answer your questions and maybe give you the extra help or knowledge that maybe you are lacking from your doctor or schools.

Email me from the “contact me” link on the right hand of the page and let us see if we can help you out!

Photo Contest!

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Do you have a ton of pictures on your computer of your family, like I have? I think all parents do and we are all looking for new things to do with them. Sending emails with pictures in them, printing them out and sending them to family and friends, been there done that.
Now there is a something new to do with all the pictures taking up space on that computer of yours.

Greetingflix is a new web site that allows you to take your pictures and make them into a little movie or slide show complete with music. Great for a new baby announcement, Mother’s Day or just to say “I am thinking of you”.
I have tried this out and sent some flix to my mother and my husband and at least one of those people admitting to crying when they watched the movie. It was also very easy to do.

They also have pro memberships which have even more templates for your movie to chose from, AND 1 Gigabyte storage for your pictures. Now you can even add your flix to your myspace page. How great is that?

Because I think this site is new and different, the nice people at greetingflix are giving me five free pro memberships to give away to you guys, my faithful readers.

Here is what you can do to win a year of pro membership to greetingflix:

-On your blog, post your favorite picture. It could be your favorite picture of your child, a silly picture from the 80s, a picture of your home renovations, what ever picture you really love.

-in the post link back to this web site and greetingflix.com

-finally comment here and let me know you have entered. I want to be able to visit all of your site’s and see the great pictures you guys are putting up.

Good luck!

*New*

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

I am going to have a few new features every month for you, my dear readers.
First we are going to have milestones and development based on baby/child’s age once a week. We will talk about what to look for, what to expect and how to tell if your child is going to be the next Albert Einstein.
Ok, well, not the last part.

Then we are going to have a “Ask a Mom” feature. Have a question about finding the right pediatrician, how to make your kids stop talking so darn much, why your child will not eat anything but Cheerios, or when should you take your child to the dentist? Well, submit it to me by clicking that contact me button on the right hand side of the page. I will help you answer any question or problems you are having and if I cannot answer it I promise to find a Mom who can.
I have lots of smart Mommy friends.

Just not as smart as me, of course.

Again, if you have a product that you would like me to review, drop me a line at tuesdayDOTgirlATgmail.com

So there you go, two new features for Parenting Our Children.
It doesn’t get more exciting then this, does it?

Stuff I Love

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

We are going to have a new feature on this site! Twice a month we are going to have a “Stuff I Love” posting about what I am enamored with, and I am usually singing the praises of something or another mommy related, so why not share?

First up, I LOVE these dresses. They are made from vintage pillowcases and delicately made into a little dress for your little one.
I think it is just darling and what a cute idea. It is unique and adorable and I think makes a great gift for a new baby or for a birthday.
The sizing goes from 6 months all the way up to 4T.

It is something I have never seen in stores and you can be sure nobody is going to have the same dress as your little one.

Do you have something you would like to review? Send me an email and let me know.

Welcome!

Welcome to parenting our children! 

My goal for this site is to entertain my readers with personal stories of parenting as well as share stories, tips and advice from other parents. 

My name is Erinn, and I am a stay at home mother to three year old boy/girl twins,   L & R. 

I was born and raised in northern New Jersey but relocated to south New Jersey three years ago.  I have been married for six years to a wonderful man, E. 

Many Moms feel that they cannot share their parenting disasters, insecurrities and faults for fear of not being a “perfect” Mom. 

We should share our successes and joys as well as our faults to not only help one another other but also to support each other on this journey of parenthood. 

I think we can all agree, it is a hell of a ride. 

 

About Parenting Children

Being a parent is hard, why make it harder? This site is for parents to share our ups and downs, joys and frustrations, tips and tricks. We are everything parenting from what to do with that new baby they let you come home from the hospital with to why won't the hospital take my teenager back? Together lets find out how to raise great kids and come out alive!
